should they be laying yet?

[chadr7850]

I have 5 bantams all there ages are about 5 months old they are 2 mille fleur d uclles rooster and hen 2 silikies rooster and hen and 1 polish hen. About 4 weeks ago the polish would lay every other day then she just stopped and havent seen one since. The others havent even layed 1 egg. They live with 8 standard birds, they have a little cage they can fly into if they get scared. I was wondering why they havent layed at all and why the polish would just stop. Oh and we also have 2 baby goats. I was thinking maybe stress but any ideas thanks

This time of year, you may need to goose point of lay with added light. They need twelve to fourteen hours of light to trigger laying.

If you stick a light on a timer in the coop to come on three or four hours before sunrise, you ought to see your first eggs within two or three weeks.
